Verify this record yourself
  1. First look up HIP 39953 in the SIMBAD astronomical database and confirm the star exists and that the right ascension, declination and magnitude on the certificate match it.
  2. Open the public registry and search for the star identifier HIP-39953.
  3. Exactly one record should come back, with claim number w8yrrx3yn6. If two appear, the registry is inconsistent — please tell us.
  4. You can also open data/registrations/w8yrrx3yn6.json in the public repository and read the raw record.

This is a commemorative, publicly verifiable claim service. It does not constitute official naming by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and confers no naming right over any celestial body.
